Scenario Design for Collision Avoidance of Remotely Controlled Ships under Time Delays

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The development of technologies for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships has highlighted time delay in remote control as a significant challenge, especially in collision avoidance scenarios. To address this, it is crucial to design ship-handling scenarios and gather relevant data to support further research. This study introduces an experimental framework utilizing the Kongsberg K-SIM full-mission ship-handling simulator to facilitate future evaluations of maneuvers affected by time delays. Simulations were conducted under four different time delays (0 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, and 90 seconds) in a give-way situation. Key navigational parameters, including position, heading, and speed, were defined, leading to a series of simulations. Consequently, an experimental procedure was established encompassing scenario design, parameter settings, and participant operations. The simulation trials produced approximately 60 million time-series data points, creating a substantial database for future research. This study lays a solid foundation for modeling collision avoidance actions, analyzing ship maneuvering behavior under delayed remote control, and developing effective control strategies.
